CELEBRATING THE STORIES OF FRANZ KAFKA
Friday 12 – Saturday 13 September 2025 (evening, time tbc)
Teatr Osmego Dnia - Lost Dream
A performance dedicated to all the hungry in the world, to the creatures unworthy of life, the human garbage, the unnecessary ballast of a ‘healthy’ society.
Austrian author Franz Kafka’s world comes alive in Lost Dream evoking many of the characters and stories from classic novels, such as The Penal Colony, The Metamorphosis and The Trial. The show explores the tensions, fears and threats evoked in his writing and you don’t need to know anything about Kafka’s work to enjoy the life that teems onto the streets in this extraordinary outdoor show with live music.

Adam Borowski, Tadeusz Janiszewski, Marcin Pławski, Marcin Kęszycki, Marek Kościółek, Janusz Stolarski
